> It's about time for electric pickup trucks.

Ford used to sell (in the 90s) an electric Ranger. It used lead acid batteries.

It wasn't a big seller, and it didn't get great range - but it did exist for a bit. Not sure why they made it, though.

/The Ford Ranger (ICE) was actually a very popular small pickup for commercial usage; tons of companies used them, especially utility companies or other companies of that nature. They tended to be very rugged little workhorses, and their size - though small - was still very capable of handling some decent sized loads.
